## Background

ICE officers attempted to have the child’s mother take custody, but she refused, leading to the child staying with his father in custody.

Researchers found that those who engaged in physical activity at least three times a week had lower levels of stress and better overall mood. The study, published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, highlights the importance of staying active as we age to maintain mental well-being.

In addition to the mental health benefits, exercise was also linked to improved physical health in the study. Older adults who stayed active had better mobility, balance, and overall physical function compared to those who were sedentary. The findings suggest that exercise can not only help prevent mental health issues but also improve overall quality of life for older adults.

The study’s lead researcher, Dr. Smith, emphasized the importance of finding enjoyable forms of exercise for older adults to maintain a consistent routine. This could include activities like walking, swimming, or yoga, which are not only beneficial for physical health but also have positive effects on mental well-being. Dr. Smith hopes that these findings will encourage more older adults to prioritize exercise as a way to improve their overall health and happiness.
